Time Away From Home

Twice a year I am privileged to meet with the Board of Trustees of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, as I did this past week. It is always a delight to spend time on this beautiful campus and to hear reports by the committed Christian administrators.

Great academic programs and stellar residential experiences create a balanced learning and social environment for OKWU students. Students and faculty alike understand and affirm the university mission.

The mission: As an evangelical Christian university of The Wesleyan Church, Oklahoma Wesleyan University models a way of thought, a way of life, and a way of faith. It is a place of serious study, honest questions, and critical engagement, all in the context of a liberal arts community that honors the Primacy of Jesus Christ, the Priority of Scripture, the Pursuit of Truth, and the Practice of Wisdom.

Of course, an aerial view is not the one I have while there, but I enjoy walking around the campus and taking in the beauty of each area, from the Lyon Chapel and Fine Arts Center on the east to the La Quinta mansion on the west.
